Although different in tone, Soujourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman" and David Walker's "Appeal in Four Articles" are similar in what way ?

Correct answer: C. Their appeals to Christians.

  • A. Their belief in necessary violence.
  • B. Their belief that women should have equal rights.
  • C. Their appeals to Christians.
  • D. Their belief that African Americans should govern themselves.
